coke ovens in the Connelsville coke region.
Hundreds of millions Of feet Of gas are put
out daily from these Ovens. 1t costs moth
lug because the coke yields good profit
on the coal consumed. There never has
been any question about the practicability
of transporting the coke-ovcn gas to Pitts
burg and further II necessary. The chief
reason why this gas was not utilized for
fuel before the value Of natural gas was
known was that coal has always been cheap
at Pittsburg, and the plant for The distribu-

an outlay OF millions. Now the pipes are
in the ground, and IN addition TO the ad-
vantage in price, we know how vastly
superior gas is to coal as fuel"

We print elsewhere the result of the
Town election held Tuesday. There was
contest was that of members of council
and tax collector. BY referring to the
table i. will be noticed that the democratic
ticket received the smallest vote this was
because Of an error in printing the tickets
they should have read two votes each
thus everytime an elector cast ballot it
would have counted two for the member
instead of one. Only one hundred of these
tickets were printed at this office, and they
were special order to be printed like copy
given, and the copy was. that of ticket
printed at another office where the tickets
were printed for the defeated candidates.

Winters back is broken. Before

what of silk or satin you like
and we'll fix it as you wish. So
of the bodies and running gears.
Pick those wheels, these springs
and that body, if you will we'll

carriage to your mind in fact.
You'll see all our cushions are
tied in. Take them out and lay
a pillow on the all-over carpet
